I've been a fortress
Ringed around by bramble thorns
And guarded by caution
Since the day that I was born
You have cut a path to me
You have come within
Sooner or later
I begin to pull away
But I find that, strangely
There has been a change in me
Treasures I kept locked inside
I would show to you
I look at you and my heart's wide open
You could come in and take all of me
Take what you want, 'cause my heart's wide open
I am unfolding
Frame by frame each bloom appears
I follow your motion
Shifting as your light comes near
I am growing close to you
I am blossoming
I look at you and my heart's wide open
You could come in and take all of me
Take what you want, 'cause my heart's wide open
There's nothing of my own
I wouldn't share with you
I'd put it in your name
I'd sign it over
I look at you and my heart's wide open
You could come in and take all of me
I was asleep, now the spell is broken
You have awoken the joy in me
Take what you want, 'cause my heart's wide open
There's nothing of my own
about
'Heart Wide Open' has no societal message; it's simply a love song.
